Esi Tonga Suited to the 2nd Row

[Jake the snake]

After watching Esi closely, Imo Esi would be better suited to the second row. If not now def in the near future. He has good footwork, he's pretty strong and would cause headaches on the fringes. The main reason by playing him in the 2nd row is because of his one on one defence which isnt that strong. He was done a for speed a few times last after the penrith 3/4 got on the outside of him. Tigers trial was similar as well. A few things he did last night did impress me.

Thoughts anyone??

I love the annual - Move (insert name) to the second row calls.

I think Esi is suited for reserve grade.

+1

Too much pressure on his knees in first grade.

Anyone think joseph Paulo could play centre in first grade?

Nope. He's a definite second receiver or central back rower in my books.

Suity

I reckon he could be used at edge forward or five-eighth.

Don't you mean he could be 1 of our split halves

I didn't go to any of our trials but I don't believe we will use split halves this year. Could be wrong but.

You're wasted on here, Jake.

Just email SK directly.

As long as they move Fui to the wing.

Not sure about 2nd row for Esi, but we are lucky we signed Tautai before Calvin Shoddy swooped on him. With all his handling errors he'd be perfect for Fumbleball.

Are you sure Pou ? I don't think it's ever happened before....

Surely he's taking the piss. Poo poos never wrong

 

[hineyrulz]

If you read my posts and assume I think I'm never wrong then that's your problem. I can help you with your football knowledge but there's not much I can do about your feelings of inadequacy.

 

[eels81236]

I think you are selling yourself short, Pou. You know more than football. You know boats.
